Answer:

x=8

Step-by-step explanation:

Remember that the variables a and b in the formula are the legs and c is the hypotenuse. So that means that 15 and x are the legs and 17 is the hypotenuse. Plug those numbers where they go in the formula like below:

15^2+x^2=17^2

Go ahead and square the 15 and 17 to simplify it a little.

225+x^2=289

Now, get the x by itself by subtracting 225 from each side

x^2=64

Take the square root of each side to remove the squared on x and solve.

x=8

Answer:

{(5xy)}^{ - 4}  =   \frac{1}{ {(5xy)}^{4} }   =   \frac{1}{ {(5 \times 3 \times 2)}^{4} }   \\  \\  \\  \frac{1}{ {(30)}^{4} }  =  \frac{1}{810000}  = 1.23 \times  {10}^{ - 6}

What’s the right answer?
Nataly [62]
I will give you the formula and teach you how to solve this. Let’s start with finding the area of both the right triangles.
The formula is, base x height / 2 = area
Triangle 1 - 2x8/2 = 16/2 = 8
Triangle 2 - 2x8/2 = 16/2 = 8
Rectangle - 8x3 = 24
Add them up: 24 + 8 + 8 = 40 square feet
I hope this wasn’t to confusing

a line with the slope of -2 passes through the point (1,7) what is the closest point on the line above (1,7) which has a whole n
deff fn [24]
The closest point above on this line is (0,9)

You can find this by using the rise over run method. Since the slope is -2, we can move to the next whole number point by observing the fraction 2/-1.

Rise = 2
Run = -1

If you start on the point (1,7) and rise two, it will bring you to (1,9), then you have to move back one space (or run) to (0,9).

Lannie ordered 12 copies of the same book for his book club members. The book cost $19 each, and the order has a $15 shipping ch
SashulF [63]

Hey there!

First, we need to find how much Lannie paid for all 12 copies. To do this, all we have to do is multiply the unit price ($19) by how many copies he bought (12)

$19 x 12 = $228

So, he spent $228 on the books, but we also need at add the shipping charge:

$228 + $15 = $243

Therefore, the total cost of Lannie’s order is $243

Hope this helps you!

God bless ❤️

Brainliest would be appreciated
